Re: (DoubleBaril)

I changed the plugs and cleaned the MAF sensor so will see if that helps. The plugs and coils are Denso that are in my car so I'm assuming they were origional equipment? The auto parts store didn't have them so I got NGKs instead.

Re: Good Brand Of Plug Wires (BlueCrush)

I figured that out last night when I changed my plugs. Never had a car that didn't have wires! The plugs and coils were Denso so I could be wrong but I'm assuming they are origional equipment?

Re: MPG? (lovemyraffe)

It is an '03! I forgot to make that change. For giggles on one tank of gas I set the cruise at 65 to and from school both trips and limited my short trips and only got one mpg better. I just find it really strange that I can't control the gas mileage. I still owe on this car and really can't afford ...

Re: MPG? (GMJAP)

2500 miles ago. I change my oil every 3000. I am actually changing it this week again. I am going to change the plugs, wires, and fuel filter this week as well. I am also going to try running a few tanks of better gas thru to see if that helps. I don't mind the 29 mpg but when it goes down to 24mpg ...

Re: MPG? (ponta2147)

Ya checked them. They are right where they should be. I did just check my mileaged and my car had 160,000 on it instead of the 130,000 I thought it had. I even did the whole injector cleaner the last oil change and no change.

MPG?

I have an '03 and it is averaging 24-28 mpg. Is this normal? My mechanic said I should be getting close to 32 mpg with it. Two days a week I make a two drive (one hour there and back) to school and the other three days I just drive to work which is only about 7 miles one way. My computer is not show...

Loss in Power and Bad Gas Mileage

I hae a 2004 Vibe and recently I have been dealing with the check engine light coming on. My husband bought one of those computer readers and it came back saying there was a problem with the exhaust. He changed the rear catalytic converter. Cleared the codes and the light came back on after a bit. H...
